Karma baby! Pat Lawlor declared "Pinball will be dead in five years" in 2007 (at Pinball Expo). We just HAD to prove him wrong!

Quoted from rustybomber79:I see your in GA, You probably have a lot less options for pins in the wild. The south seems pretty thin on pinballs. I am currently living near Boston (and have been to Coast City) but hoping to be moving back to Memphis, TN soon and from what I can tell Pinball is non existant down there, I only know of ONE on location machine. Which is a factor in my wifes approval. (Get one now where they are availible and not stuipidly over priced and take it with us)
This is not an argument, but you couldn't be more wrong about GA. I moved here 10 years ago and there were a LOT more Pinheads here than NJ. Pinball Inc. the world's largest manufacturer of replacement pinball ramps is here. I run a mailing list that has been in existence for 12 years now called GAPAS (GAPAS.NET). We have 2 Pinball leagues and there is a major convention in the works for next year. Keep coming south and you'll be among friends.
Jersey Jack himself might have also had a big deal to do with it as well. Gary Stern has always been a "Build for the Operator Guy". Jack had him make special editions of Austin Powers and Monopoly for the home market. Jack was his primary reseller for home sales. As operator sales decreased, home sales increased. Despite the fact that they separated, it's my opinion that Jack had a LOT to do with it.
